Human Resources

UUP Promotion, Reclassification, Salary Increase

Definitions

A promotion is an increase in basic annual salary with a change in title and movement to a higher
salary rank, resulting from a permanent, significant increase or change in duties
and responsibilities, as a consequence of movement from one position to another of
greater scope and complexity of function.

A reclassification is a change to another budget title (SL level could be higher, lower, or lateral)
without a current increase in salary.

A salary increase can happen without an accompanying change in budget title but must be supported by
documentation. Sometimes, a salary increase with a change in campus title rather
than budget title is appropriate. Temporary salary increases may be in effect for
interim duties and as such will include a date for the return to previous salary and
duties.

Requests

The request for a promotion, reclassification, and/or salary increase can be employee-initiated
or initiated at the supervisory level. There are two annual open windows at BU during
which professional staff can personally apply/initiate a petition for a promotion
or salary increase, the months of January and June.

A petition may be initiated at the supervisory level outside of these two windows
when the request is due to significant organizational changes. Requests are reviewed
by Human Resources for classification and salary level accuracy, and by the VP and
Budget offices for financial planning and approval purposes.
